- Known as: British painter
- Born: 14 September 1925, London, UK
Sandra Blow lives and works in St.Ives, Cornwall. Her work when it comes up at auction is very difficult to sale to the point where I would say it has very little sale-on value. So only buy her work if you love it as if you buy it to sell it you probaly won't.
